Cinema
Regia: Wim Wenders
Cast: Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski, Dean Stockwell, Hunter Carson, Justin Hogg
One of Wim Wenders' greatest masterpieces returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon, in a splendid new 4K restored version, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of its theatrical release. The film, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1984, is the work that definitively established the German director among the great auteurs of world cinema. The last film of Wenders' American period, written by Sam Shepard, is a free, tender and desperate road movie, an homage to the places of the Western, a very human reinterpretation of Hollywood genres. An aging father under a baseball cap and a toddler son cross Texas in a pickup truck, looking for a wife and mother lost years earlier. They talk about big bang theory and why she left. The man, who had locked guilt and defeat in silence, rediscovers speech and the meaning of human relationships. He rediscovers them so well that when they finally find the woman, in a kind of sex club where girls talk to customers through a glass, without seeing them, Harry Dean Stanton can break them and break our hearts by telling a story, which of course is their story. She is the Nastassja Kinski of 1984, and that's all there is to it.

Il Caffè Odeon di Firenze nasce da un incontro e da un sogno. L’incontro è quello con la casa editrice Giunti e col progetto sulla nuova vita da dare allo storico cinema Odeon di Firenze, come centro culturale polifunzionale. Il sogno era quello di poter avere uno spazio, aperto tutto il giorno come i grandi caffè mitteleuropei, in cui proporre piatti provenienti da diverse tradizioni gastronomiche, insieme ad una pasticceria altrettanto ricca e ad una caffetteria di grande qualità, senza trascurare bevande analcoliche sofisticate, vini e cocktail.Assaporare un cibo, bere un caffè fumante o sorseggiare un buon vino sono cose che hanno molto in comune con il leggere un libro o guardare un film: si tratta sempre di usare i nostri sensi per vivere delle storie, che ci riguardino direttamente o ci portino in altri mondi, ed è proprio questo che ha fatto sì che l’incontro permettesse al nostro sogno di avverarsi.
